What Is the TimberVolt® Inferno?

The Inferno is the most advanced, fully loaded model in Western Timber Frame’s patented TimberVolt line — a pre-wired timber power post with a GFCI outlet, a standard outlet with dual USB, a high-mounted TV power plug, upper outlet ports, and a double light-and-fan switch, all concealed inside the timber.

Built to power everything from string lights to movie nights, the Inferno energizes through a recessed male inlet at the base and runs its wiring through a 1.25-inch channel in a 6×6 or larger timber, to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

Part of the TimberVolt system, protected under U.S. Patent No. 10,053,861 — “Power Distribution Post for Use in Timber Frame Structures.”

The Inferno arrives fully pre-wired and sealed, with every connection point covered for weather. A steel wire-channel insert shields the internal wiring during assembly, and every outlet, switch, and USB port is built right into the post.

A Dovetailed Timber Post at Its Core

The Inferno isn’t just wiring — it’s a solid, dovetailed timber post. Like every TimberVolt post, it’s built on Western Timber Frame’s patented Dovetail Difference®: a trapezoidal joint that interlocks the timbers together without a single metal bracket.

The wedge shape lets the timber flex and settle naturally with the seasons instead of loosening over time, and because no exposed steel holds it together, there’s nothing to rust or corrode. The post that carries your power is made to last for generations.
